The problem for his early films, like High Hopes (1988), was that Leigh didn’t have a backlog of success to draw from nor a script to show investors. The reason being that Leigh prefers to work out a scenario and then spends weeks to months working with the actors on how each scene should be done.
High Hopes opens with the arrival of Wayne, a small-town lad in his twenties, in the London metropolis. Completely lost in the hustle and bustle, Wayne asks for directions from a cyclist named Cyril. Unable to assist him, Cyril brings Wayne to his house to examine a map and meet his long-time girlfriend, Shirley, also a working-class intellectual.
